Behind Closed Doors

Went here the other night for our first time and we loved it! The ambiance was perfect, we loved that there were comfy couches to sit on, and the drinks were AMAZING! When reviewing places what first comes to mind is how we are treated and if the environment was friendly. When we first walked up to the place we met the bouncer and he was very warm and welcoming and after a couple min of being there we could tell that the bartenders really enjoyed their jobs as well! Everyone had a great attitude and seemed happy to please.My husband loves their espresso martini and couldn't stop talking about it all night. There drinks all see customized and have great flavor. The only thing missing would be maybe a dart board or something to have a little fun with while there. (At least for me ) I did however hear that they have karaoke but I haven't yet experienced this. We will definitely be back!

Nice little speakeasy tucked into the back of an unsuspecting Korean BBQ restaurant. My wife and I were visiting town from SF and ducked in here for our last cocktail of the night. Nice ambiance, classy decor, good liquors on deck. Very nice (and busy) bartender took care of us, I had him make me something dealers choice and I liked it quite a bit. Not usually a fan of Mezcal but the citrus paired with it blended nicely and I thoroughly enjoyed it. I was telling him about the drink I had at Californios where they put midori and mezcal together in with a creme, don't sleep on that! Lol.Thanks again for a nice punctuation mark at the end of a pleasant visit to Stockton.

THEY HAVE RATS IN THE KITCHEN!!!!!!Ok let me give a little back story to me seeing these huge RATS IN THE KITCHEN. We have ate here before and always love supporting local, they also have a speakeasy bar in the back.Last night we decided we wanted to check out the bar, well the bar and the restaurant are connected within one building. From the bar they have access to getting in the kitchen and every time they open and close the door you can see inside the kitchen. The other night me and my husband are just sitting at the bar enjoying a cocktail together and as the door opened to the kitchen, I saw the BIGGEST RAT possible walk along a closed window and on to the grill area. I screamed sooooo loud and the bartender and other employee sitting there ask what happened and I said you guys have a RAT in the kitchen!!!!!!!!! They replied by saying "Aw shit she saw the rat", like they both clearly already knew about this issue but no body really seemed to care. If they are aware of this issue it's not hard to get it under control and call an exterminator to come get the problem under control. One of the restaurant worker's response to me freaking out was "all restaurants have RATS". Blows my mind that even the workers know about it and are ok with working there. We usually love supporting small businesses and Hate to leave this type of review, but this is not ok, people EAT here with RATS clearly running the kitchen. I hope the owner sees this review and takes the necessary action to solve this issue. They need to be shut down until the problem is fixed. Won't be returning here EVER AGAIN!

UPDATE: The cocktails are on point and Claude (spellcheck) mixes things up with his own takes on them or concocts completely new cocktails using not so typical ingredients to let the mixologist out.He also brings in new bottles quite often for customers to try from rare bourbons and ryes to even some tequila (see 100 proof tequila photo). It can be a bit of a wait for your cocktail if they are busy since he is the main one making them but they're totally worth it. The grapefruit whiskey sour on the menu is a particular favorite right now.If you haven't been yet please do yourself a favor and head on in. If you're not sure what to get he will help or even suggest a different drink off the menu he can make for you.

A new and much needed speakeasy bar in Stockton that is amazing in every aspect. The bar is hidden behind the hustle and bustle of Miracle Mile that attracts the crowd of explorers and those who look for special cocktails. The exterior is unassuming and hidden with the exception of a brightly lit, small sign. You enter to a sophisticated and beautifully designed interior with leather seats and rustic, oak finished tables. The bar is filled with all the favorite liquors you need.I have to say, the bartender has put together an amazing assortment of cocktail classics with a slight twist for the palette. The prices are on point and the drinks are amazing. They carry things as simple as Coors Light and can create things as sophisticated as yr favorite cocktail. I'm pleasantly surprised that such a awesome bar has been opened in Stockton and the owners are super down-to-earth. Give this place a try; you won't regret it!

Wow. My new fave bar in Stockton. Good drinks! Good service good music! Love the darkness -- reminds me of a SF bar for sure. Super low key still but wow, had my first drink here and it was the dragons breath all of their mixers are made IN HOUSE. The bartender is amazing at his craft he works with you on whatever you feel like having for the night. The vibe is so relaxing and chill. So so so happy my bf found this hidden GEM. Will def be back.

This is my new favorite Karaoke place!!! The hubby & I came out last night to check it out mainly because I wanted to do some karaoke, even though he had a headache, lol!Was pleasantly surprised at what I walked into...Love the the setup, vibe and ambiance....the family owned Korean restaurant in the front also own & run the bar. The wife & hubby/bartender are very nice people & make the best drinks. Loved my fruity drinks with a different twist, very refreshing and not too strong!Liked how it's not big and the nice mixture of the crowd. Nice comfy, cozy lounge that looks beautiful inside!Can't wait to come back!!!

Super welcoming and fast service! Drinks are fire and Kareoke is so fun! The food is yummy. The service is so inviting

Went on a Friday night for karaoke night. The "Manager" decided that 7 songs in she wanted a "break from karaoke" and turned off the karaoke to play music from her phone killing the vibe. She then left randomly. The only saving grace is the male bartender. He is such a chill down to earth guy.

I thought it would be worth the drive on a Friday night however the DJ sucked and drinks were terrible. The place itself is so tiny they should only really allow about 30 minutes. Service is definitely slow. No food or snacks available.
